Twitter top 10 – local government

UPDATE: This has been our most popular post ever with a huge number of hits so I am keen for your views before I do a monthly update of the list at the beginning of March. There will be some significant changes. Do let me know what you think, either here, or if you prefer you can direct message me on Twitter.

For the benefit of new users of Twitter from the local government world here are some suggestions of people to follow. A starter pack, if you like. Now I know that this is going to be controversial, if you aren’t on it and you think you should be, just post a comment and I will revise and post again soon. This is entirely subjective and deliberately includes a mix of councillors and others working in or commenting on the sector.
